Journey planner doesn’t work

On the River Thames journey planner, you can select the star position but won’t let you select a destination unless you close and reopen the app

Response from developer

This resulted from the Environment Agency RSS feed going off-line - now working again

Map will not fully load

When I call up the map it will only partly load on my (latest) iPad Pro. I have tried in various places at many times including at home with high speed broadband, also on the Thames using phone data. It is just not useable. Maybe needs an iOS update? Can you guys fix this please.

Response from developer

Temporary fix is to tap ‘Home’ then tap ‘Map’ and it will load correctly

The River THAMES App

Very good informative App would help if you could forward the App to friends from within the App via tweeter / e-mail. Also when viewing an area with a Apple iPad it would help to be able to zoom in and view the area without it reverting back to the large map when you take off your two fingers off the screen.
Very good App keep up the good work

Response from developer

Thanks - will look at adding the option to 'send to friends'

Please don't remove detailed views

Won't be taking the latest update that removes detailed zoom views. These are the most useful!
Otherwise would rate 4-5.

Response from developer

Long since fixed...

An invaluable boaters guide.

Excellent App for both novice and experienced boaters. Comprehensive information makes this App a "must have" on board! Having most of the information available without the need for internet connection is also a major plus.
